Instructions

In a medium bowl, mix warm water, sugar, and yeast; let it sit until frothy (about 5 minutes).
In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and olive oil; stir until dough forms.
Knead dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth.
Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size (1 to 1.5 hours).
Prepare the cheese topping by mixing ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan, lemon zest, and juice in a small bowl.
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) with a pizza stone or baking sheet inside.
Roll out the risen dough into a thin round (12 inches), then transfer it onto parchment paper.
Spread the cheese mixture over the dough and sprinkle with fresh thyme.
Bake for 10-12 minutes until crust is golden and cheese is bubbling.
Drizzle with olive oil and honey before slicing.
